does this give you a cardio/strength training workout at the same time

I think it could but it is made for short intense bursts It will give you quite a burn very quickly

yes if you work hard enough. I added arm stretch/ rope to exercise upper body to the machine....

I feel there is such an abundance of fitness work that can be done on this excellent machine without relying on the cardio rebounder, which I never use anyway. That said I do not find it an issue.

You can preprogram a workout for yourself. I use it on the manual mode so I do set my own resistance and vary it throughout my workout.

I don't think it adds as much as something like an elliptical machine, and it's not a very intense workout, even at 30 minutes. On the other hand, it does add a little something. If you're looking for a relatively low cost, it's an okay option, but if you're looking for a really hard workout, it's not likely to be enough.

Yes. And very easy to setup. You have a simple "chrono" mode, the second mode is Intervals where you can set the interval sets and workouts.

I use the H7/Loop combo for both cardio and strength training. The loop will not register much activity during strength training -- I usually get credit for a few hundred steps -- but using the H7 will create a training session for you where you can see your heart rate during your workout along with a total calorie burn. For comparison, I usually get about 475-500 calories burned during a 40 minute cardio workout and about 175 during a similar length weight lifting session. I'm not sure what you mean by successful, so hope this helps and you can definitely use this combo during your workouts.

My initial response is yes, but not big muscles if that is what you are interested in attaining. Since you use only your body weight for the exercises and no additional equipment, you definitely get stronger. Since the workouts are short, you might want to use it to enhance another workout with weights that are already doing. If you are already in great fantastic shape, you might not see much improvement. For myself however, and my girlfriend who did the series with me, when we started, we were doing pushups on our knees, and by the end we could do 10 pushups on our toes. The sessions are timed though, so if you already can do push ups, then you could 30 in the same time it takes me to do only 10 for example. It definitely builds core strength. Hope this helps!

No. Not much if are already fit but if you are more than 50 lbs over weight then you will notice improvement because you are moving! I was hoping for more because of the little woman working out with Tony on the infomercial but no luck. Wish I could return mine for a full refund as I am not seeing results. Back to cardio!

yes, I mainly got this set for the cardio workout, but the further I advance, the more these moves work on my muscles, toning them. I really am feeling the effects on my abs, (I have a small pooch, from giving birth), and the sides of my thighs

It works on both your biceps and triceps at the same time. Although it doesn't give them much of a workout.

No. It is more of a reminder to just stand up straight and hold your shoulders back. I would recommend using this while doing resistance training for the back.

Yes. You get a workout lifting it onto a table and then another one when using the resistance for your arm work!

I believe it does. I exercised on a treadmill and lift weights prior to getting this, and my weight has maintained/lost since using this-just is less stressful to the body. Any type of exercise is beneficial, plus you will be more willing to use this if it is easier on you back/knees or what ever hurts.

Yes. I've been using this for a month and can already see results. There are two workouts on the DVD which really get you sweating. High reps Will also get u what ur asking about. Mine has been a great investment for the same thing.

You could if you're already pretty fit. It focuses more on strength training than cardio so it depends what you're looking for. I probably wouldn't recommend starting with Gamma however, as the Alpha and Beta workouts really do help build a good foundation.

Yes it does. Works pretty well, in my opinion. It's not perfect, but you can still do the exercise.

Yes it does. You have the ability to change your workout on the fly for more resistance and then less for a cool down.
